5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Introduction to Melodic Death Metal and In Flames at their Best
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2017
Verified Purchase
Clayman was THE album that got me into melodic death metal and then consequentially death metal and black metal further down the road. I was first introduced to In Flames through Guitar Hero II way back in 2007 and was only mildly impressed with their one track on the game, "Take This Life." It took me 4 years to be re-introduced to In Flames and finally give them another shot at the request of a friend through the Clayman album. What I found was a completely different band altogether. It was while listening to this album that I realized that death growls and screams can be used as essentially additional instruments to further add depth to heavy metal, so to say that this album opened multiple pathways for me regarding my music taste would be an understatement. This is also the last In Flames album to utilize a lot of the unique riffs that helped this band to separate itself from the majority of others in the scene, as they would then move toward a metalcore/alternative rock sound with very mixed results immediately after. I highly recommend this album to anyone who may be skeptical of exploring more "extreme" metal genres, as it is probably one of the most accessible introductions into melodic death metal outside of Children of Bodom's "Follow the Reaper" album in my opinion. Specifically, my favorite tracks on this album would be Bullet Ride, Pinball Map, Only for the Weak, Swim, and Suburban Me. However, every single track on it is worth multiple listens. It's one of the few albums that I find myself listening to all the way through whenever I choose to revisit it.

5.0 out of 5 stars In Flames at their most Diverse

This album seems to be the final bastion of In Flames before the fall off in the eyes of many fans. Personally, I tend to see Clayman as the pivot point in the course of the band's evolution from pure melodic death to their nu-death metal phase which peaked in STYE but now seems to be receding slightly with their newset release. Elements of both these identities are present in Clayman, with a wide range of musical approaches, varied degrees of soloing, and especially in the vocals. It is actually my opinion that, while Jester Race ~ Black Ash Inheritance is the very best of In Flames musically, Anders Friden peaked as a vocalist in Clayman. Here he delivers the deep, throaty growls of Jester Race, the whispers of Whoracle, the wimpers of RTR/STYE, and the shreiks of Come Clarity, all in one album. For power and verstility, this is his best performance.

As far as the album itself goes, the only song I don't care too much for is Satellites and Astronauts. It's a bit blah in my opinion, but not annoying or anything. Other than that, it took me a long time of struggling to pick out a few favorites, because the rest of the album is so strong. That said, Bullet Ride is an all-time In Flames classic, Only for the Weak is, while not their best, their most anthemic, ...As the Future Repeats Today is one of my personal favorites, and Swim is possibly the best song on here.

In conclusion, if you're an In Flames fan, you already own this, right? If not, I'd start here, as this album has the widest range of their material to be found on a single disc. If possible, pick up the Expanded Version, as both bonus tracks are worth having. One is just a good metal song, and the other is an intersting cover that's definately worth a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST In Flames records ever!

The guitars are heavy, beautiful and the sound is rich. Idk wtf ppl complain about "how it sounds" for. They must have TERRIBLE SPEAKERS.
This album---to my knowledge (i only have 'I, Mask', 'Whoracle', 'Jester Race/Ash etc' and 'Come Clarity'---is when Anders stopped singing like 'Cookie Monster/Death Metal' and started singing like Anders of "Take This Life from Guitar Hero fame''.
I love their guitars and brutal rhythm.
Amazing CD.
Glen Fricker (SMG STUDIOS on YouTube) actually makes lots of videos referencing the "Clay Man sound'' because of how the microphones were recorded.
Recommended----even if THIS particular CD took nearly TWO MONTHS---as it actually probably was shipper FROM EUROPE. Which is also pretty cool!

Everyone has an opinion on these remasters, but I happen to like them. Some are as good or better than the original, some are not, but overall it's a great CD loaded with songs I love, from Bullet Ride to Suburban Me. 16 Songs from In Flames, can't go wrong with that.

4.0 out of 5 stars In Flames Change Direction.
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2012

Clayman is solid throughout but it's still no Jester Race or Whoracle. Square Nothing, Pinball Map, As the Future Repeats Itself Today and Suburban Me are the stand out tracks and are great songs. The rest is just slightly above average. They started to get less heavy and more melodic and add in synthesizer which isn't a bad thing. However this is when In Flames take a step down in their career. There aren't the unique acoustic guitar solos like their was on Whoracle and The Jester Race or the fast tempo on Colony. They slow their songs down here and become more mainstream. Still Clayman, Reroute To Remain, Soundtrack To Your Escape and Come Clarity are decent albums but far from masterpieces like their mid-late '90s discography.

Possibly my favorite In Flames album. They are ALL so good! Any real In Flames fan should simply have every album. It's easy to make a Best of playlist for these guys, just put all songs in it xD Standouts such as Bullet Ride, Pinball Map, Suburban Me and Square Nothing are thick with the melodicism and the powerful ass kicking that have helped this band rise to the very top of the metal pile. Creative and unique lyricism, visualization instead of story telling... everything! *auralgasm* god I love these guys.... their music fires on all cylinders, definitely a finely tuned machine.

Wonderfully remastered edition. Came shrink wrapped with CD, song booklet with lyrics and photos, and a merch slip with upcoming stuff from the label. Worth the money, great seller.

Il disco che rappresenta il ponte tra il primo e il secondo periodo della band. Pezzi killer e molto ispirati ma con un tocco di modernità in piu. Bullet Ride è il brano ideale per aprire ogni concerto metal. Fantastico.

Disco arrivato in condizioni perfette.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE quintessential In Flames album
Reviewed in Canada on April 17, 2015
Verified Purchase
If you're a fan of In Flames, you no doubt agree that this is among their best (if not THE best) albums. It hits hard from start to finish with powerful percussion, madly melodic guitar work, deep & groovy bass licks, and vocals that put most singers (metal or otherwise) to shame. Tracks like "Only For The Weak", "Pinball Map", and of course the title track "Clayman" are among my personal favourites.

The vinyl pressing is excellent quality given it's a 180g. The cover and sleeve are pretty basic, nothing too special.

Overall, a fantastic album that any metal fan can truly appreciate, and is, in my opinion, some of In Flames' best work.
